Exodus 32:19-35

19And it came to pass, as soon as he came nighH7126 unto the campH4264, that he sawH7200 the calfH5695, and the dancingH4246: and Moses’H4872 angerH639 waxed hotH2734, and he castH7993 the tablesH3871 out of his handsH3027, and brakeH7665 them beneathH8478 the mountH2022. 20And he tookH3947 the calfH5695 which they had madeH6213, and burntH8313 it in the fireH784, and groundH2912 it to powderH1854, and strawedH2219 it uponH6440 the waterH4325, and made the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 of it. 21And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, What didH6213 this peopleH5971 unto thee, that thou hast broughtH935 so greatH1419 a sinH2401 upon them? 22And AaronH175 saidH559, Let not the angerH639 of my lordH113 wax hotH2734: thou knowestH3045 the peopleH5971, that they are set on mischiefH7451. 23For they saidH559 unto me, MakeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us: for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we wotH3045 not what is become of him. 24And I saidH559 unto them, Whosoever hath any goldH2091, let them breakH6561 it off. So they gaveH5414 it me: then I castH7993 it into the fireH784, and there came outH3318 this calfH5695.

25And when MosesH4872 sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were nakedH6544; (for AaronH175 had made them nakedH6544 unto their shameH8103 among their enemiesH6965:)1 26Then MosesH4872 stoodH5975 in the gateH8179 of the campH4264, and saidH559, Who is on Yhwh'sH3068 side? let him come unto me. And all the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 gatheredH622 themselves together unto him. 27And he saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, PutH7760 every manH376 his swordH2719 by his sideH3409, and goH5674 in and outH7725 from gateH8179 to gateH8179 throughout the campH4264, and slayH2026 every manH376 his brotherH251, and every manH376 his companionH7453, and every manH376 his neighbourH7138. 28And the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872: and there fellH5307 of the peopleH5971 that dayH3117 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376. 29For MosesH4872 had saidH559, Consecrate yourselvesH3027H4390 to dayH3117 to YhwhH3068, evenH3588 every manH376 upon his sonH1121, and upon his brotherH251; that he may bestowH5414 upon you a blessingH1293 this dayH3117.23

30And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401: and now I will go upH5927 unto YhwhH3068; peradventureH194 I shall make an atonementH3722 forH1157 your sinH2403. 31And MosesH4872 returnedH7725 unto YhwhH3068, and saidH559, OhH577, this peopleH5971 have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401, and have madeH6213 them godsH430 of goldH2091. 32Yet now, if thou wilt forgiveH5375 their sinH2403—; and if not, blotH4229 me, I pray thee, out of thy bookH5612 which thou hast writtenH3789. 33And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WhosoeverH834 hath sinnedH2398 against me, him will I blot outH4229 of my bookH5612. 34Therefore now goH3212, leadH5148 the peopleH5971 unto the place of which I have spokenH1696 unto thee: behold, mine AngelH4397 shall goH3212 beforeH6440 thee: nevertheless in the dayH3117 when I visitH6485 I will visitH6485 their sinH2403 upon them. 35And YhwhH3068 plaguedH5062 the peopleH5971, becauseH834 they madeH6213 the calfH5695, whichH834 AaronH175 madeH6213.
